Maynards Hospital
But the buildings of this hospital and chapel, having been blown down
by the great storm, which happened on Nov. 3, 1703, were all rebuilt
from the foundation with brick, by the charitable contribution of
the mayor, aldermen, and other worthy benefactors, in the year 1708,
John Beaumont, esq. being then mayor; the work being first principally
promoted and carried on by the application of alderman
Oughton, chamberlain, and alderman Wilson, master of this hospital;
the contributions amounting to upwards of 300l. and the expences of
erecting the buildings to 299l. and upwards, as appears by the chamberlain's
accounts.

"There can be no doubt, as will appear, that Anthony Oughton
was the "Mr. Oughton" who was a neighbor of the writer of
the Letter. Born in 1664 he was an Apothecary by trade, completed
his apprenticeship with one Israel Jacob, was sworn a Freeman of Canterbury,
November 29, 1687, and served his city in many capacities, as Common
Councillor (1690), Sheriff (1697), Alderman (1700), Chamberlain (1706)
and Mayor in 1702 and again in 1730."

to Anthony Oughton, "descended
from an ancient family of that name in Warwickshire lived in
the city 66 years', d. 1750 aged eighty-seven, a mural with arms in
St. Margaret's."
